Chats on the Farmhouse Porch

(Link in meme-roll)

1. What was your biggest fear as a child?

Being spoken to by strangers, and having to speak back to them.
And almost everything else; I was a pretty fearful child.

2. Who taught you to cook?

This is a toss-up: either my mother taught me to cook, or my mother taught me how not to cook. She did teach me the way around a kitchen, but she wasn't a very profound cook, nor did she enjoy it at all.

3. Do you have a lot of books in your home?

Yeah, a few dozen hundred thousand. Not as many as some people, but more than several of my friends/acquaintances. Less than I "have" at work, though, which is definitely my goal.

4. Do you like carrot cake? If you like that cake, what kind of frosting do you like best?

I can't stand carrot cake; I would scrape the frosting off and eat it, but not in public. In public, I usually just claim that I'm full.

5. What's did the last funny t-shirt you read say? (It doesn't have to reflect your personal feeling about the topic, just be funny and family friendly.)

Well, since you said family-friendly, I'll go with the one a friend posted on Facebook this morning.
However, I do find my son's current T kinda funny, even though when he first bought it a couple of years ago my first thought was "You can't wear that to school!!" However, I totally get the feeling behind it in a purely metaphorical sense (even though I'm sure I don't quite get the Pokémon backstory).
